SGR Ep207 - To Live, To Love, To Serve, & To Honor | Dedicated to Chris from The Dopey Podcast

My name is Shane Ramer. As long as I was high I didn't have to feel. After 17 years of struggling with drugs and alcohol on September 11th, 2013, I got some help. Life is pretty good today, and I like to talk shit and laugh about it all while sharing some of my own experience with the hope that it might help someone else. I try not to take things too serious, and I fold my toilet paper, people who crumple have to all wrong! Check us out at www.ThatSoberGuy.com

I wanted to start today by saying life is short, and you never
know when your time is gonna be up. Enjoy each day, live in the
moment, laugh a lot, love a whole lot. When we leave this earth, we
don’t take any of the materialistic shit that we all think is so
important with us. It’s meaningless, a chasing of the wind
according to Ecclesiastes. But there’s a chance we might take some
of the good times, some of the laughs and some of the love in our
hearts on the way up. And there’s an even greater chance, that when
we choose to live a life of love and service and honor, we may
encourage those who loved us, and those who knew us, to find it in
themselves to live another day, striving to be just a little bit
better, and love just little bit more.

I’d like to dedicate this episode to Chris from the Dopey
podcast. You will be missed bro. You were brave enough to share
your own struggles with the world, and in doing so, you touched
lives across the planet. Your spirit rests in the peace only God
can provide, but your memory on this earth will never be
forgotten.

To Dave: Chris was your partner, your homie, your brother, your
co-host, your friend. I hope you find comfort in the many good
times and the many good memories that you guys created together
both on the Dopey Podcast, and outside in your personal lives. I
would encourage you to keep going man. Although I only had the
pleasure of chatting with Chris a few times, I am certain he would
want you to continue on and carry the legacy of the Dopey Podcast
to the next chapter. After all, their are still a lot of dope
fiends out there looking for a lifeline, who don’t even know yet
that they’re a part of the Dopey Nation.
